Every year Alena Ondejcíková and Vladimír Ondejcík organize an important international bonsai show in the city of Nitra.

|
I have chosen this sylvestris pine with an unusual form to work during this demonstration.
|
|
The plant has one long branch. It will be necessary to bend and turn the branch to compact the foliage. |
|
The branch was prepared some weeks before, in this way the wood's fiber becomes more soft and ductile. |

|
The stumps become jins. |

Vladimir helps me to explain to the public my project.
